National Agricultural Statistics Service 
Title: ARMS, Fruit Chemical Use and 
State Cooperator Surveys—Substantive 
Change. 
OMB Control Number: 0535–0218. 
Summary of Collection: General 
authority for these data collection 
activities is granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall procure and preserve all information concerning agriculture which he can obtain . . . by the collection of statistics . . .’’. The primary objective of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to provide data users with timely and reliable agricultural 
production and economic statistics, as well as environmental and specialty agricultural related statistics. To accomplish this objective, NASS relies on the use of diverse surveys that show changes within the farming industry over time. 
The Agricultural Resource 
Management Surveys (ARMS), the Fruit Chemical Use Survey and several state funded surveys collect economic and environmental data on numerous crops on an annual basis. The ARMS surveys target numerous crops each year. The Fruit and Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys alternate each year. Changes need to be made to these surveys on an annual basis to address issues that arise each year. In addition, some research questions are added to some of these surveys by the Economic Research Service (ERS) who co-sponsors the ARMS program. The revised questionnaires and listings of the changes to the questionnaires can be viewed in the Reginfo system mentioned above. 
The changes to these surveys will add 
an additional 15,799 burden hours raising the total for this information collection request to 120,828 hours. 
Need and Use of the Information: 
These changes will increase the usefulness and relevance of both the economic and environmental data being collected. 
Description of Respondents: Farms 
and Ranches. 
Number of Respondents: 128,417. 
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 
Once. Total Burden Hours: 120,828.

Implementation of Revised Lacey Act Provisions 
AGENCY : Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service, USDA. 
ACTION : Notice. 
SUMMARY : The Food, Conservation, and 
Energy Act of 2008 amended the Lacey Act to provide, among other things, that importers submit a declaration at the time of importation for certain plants and plant products. Enforcement of the declaration requirement began on April 1, 2009, and products requiring a declaration are being phased-in. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of a change in the date of implementation for Phase VI of the enforcement schedule. 
DATES : Implementation of Phase VI of 
the Lacey Act enforcement schedule will begin October 1, 2021. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Ms. 
Dorothy Wayson, National Policy Manager, Lacey Act Program, Compliance and Environmental Coordination Branch, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road, Unit 150, Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 851–2036. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Background 
The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et 
seq.), first enacted in 1900 and significantly amended in 1981, is the United States’ oldest wildlife protection statute. The Act combats trafficking in illegally taken wildlife, fish, or plants. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act by expanding its protection to a broader range of plants and plant products (Section 8204, Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). The Lacey Act now makes it unlawful to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in

plant, with some limited exceptions, taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any law of the United States or an Indian Tribe, or in violation of any State or foreign law that protects plants or that regulates certain specified plant- related activities. The Lacey Act also now makes it unlawful to make or submit any false record, account, or label for, or any false identification of, any plant. 
In addition, Section 3 of the Lacey 
Act, as amended, makes it unlawful, 
beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants, including plant products, without an import declaration. The declaration must contain the scientific name of the plant, value of the importation, quantity of the plant, and name of the country from which the plant was harvested. For paper and paperboard products containing recycled content, the declaration also must include the average percent of recycled content without regard for species or country of harvest. The plant import declaration requirement does not apply to plants used exclusively as packaging material to support, protect, or carry another item, unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported. Currently, enforcement of the declaration requirement is being phased in, as described in three notices we published in the Federal Register,
1 
the first on February 3, 2009 (74 FR 5911–5913, Docket No. APHIS–2008– 0119), the second on September 2, 2009 (74 FR 45415–45418, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0119), and the third on February 6, 2015 (80 FR 6681–6683, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0119). 
In our February 2009 notice, we 
committed to providing affected individuals and industry with at least 6 months’ notice for any products that would be added to the phase-in schedule. The phased-in enforcement schedule began April 1, 2009. The most recent phase (V) began on August 6, 2015. The enforcement schedule is available on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/ aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import- information/SA_ Lacey_ Act. We 
continue to consider the applicability of the declaration requirement to products not included in the current phase-in schedule. 
On March 31, 2020, we published a 
notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 17849–17850, Docket No. APHIS–2008– 0119) announcing Phase VI of the enforcement schedule, which would 
have begun on October 1, 2020. We solicited comments concerning our proposal until July 1, 2020. We received 31 comments by that date. They were from industry associations, conservation organizations, importers, exporters, and representatives of foreign governments. 
Several commenters were concerned 
that adding products under Harmonized Tariff Code 4415, which includes cases, boxes, crates, drums, containers, pallets, and box-pallets, and other solid wood packaging materials, would result in unnecessary burden and disruptions to international trade if the declaration requirement was enforced for these packaging materials. 
The Act specifies that the plant 
import declaration requirement does not apply to plants used exclusively as packaging material to support, protect, or carry another item, unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported (§ 3372(f)(3)). APHIS will only require a declaration for new products in Harmonized Tariff Code 4415 that are formally entering the United States. The declaration requirement will not apply to used, recycled, or reclaimed pallets or to pallets, empty or under load, that are used to carry goods imported into the United States. 
Some commenters expressed concern 
about the addition of essential oils in Harmonized Tariff Code 3301.29.5150— essential oils of ‘‘other.’’ These commenters stated that it was unclear what was included under ‘‘other’’ and that there could be attempts to inaccurately classify products under different codes to avoid the plant import declaration requirement. 
We agree with the commenters that 
this code may not provide sufficient 
specificity and could result in both deliberate and unintentional inaccuracies. Accordingly, we have decided to remove Harmonized Tariff Code 3301.29.5150—essential oils of ‘‘other’’ from this implementation phase. 
In the initial notice, we included both 
Harmonized Tariff Code 9209.92 and the 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Code 9209.92.8000. Listing the 10-digit code is unnecessary, since it already falls under 9209.92. We also mistakenly categorized Harmonized Tariff Code 9209.99.8000 as ‘‘musical instruments of heading 9202, other.’’ It should read simply ‘‘Other.’’ We have corrected these errors. An updated list of Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes is set out below. Furthermore, we have decided to delay implementation of the enforcement phase based on the comments we received. Implementation of Phase VI will now begin on October 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Title: National Conservation Practice 
Adoption Motivations Survey. 
OMB Control Number: 0535–NEW. 
Type of Request: Intent to seek 
approval to create a new information 
collection for a period of three years. 
Abstract: The purpose of the survey is 
to target operations who own or operate cropland and/or concentrated livestock feeding operations. NASS will collect information about these types of operations to understand conservation practices within the United States in terms of the following: (1) How often are specific conservation practices adopted without assistance, with technical assistance and/or financial assistance. (2) How does adoption evolve over time? What proportion of producers who ‘‘try’’ a given practice continue or expand use over time? How many discontinue the practice? (3) What motivates farmers to initially try a practice and then continue, expand, or discontinue use? The questions reflect a range of factors including conservation need(s), experience(s) of neighbors, financial benefits or costs, producer’s time and effort, availability of technical and financial assistance, regulation or conservation compliance, and concern about the environmental quality. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has entered into an interagency agreement with NASS to conduct this survey. 
Authority: These data will be 
collected under authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a). Individually identifiable data collected under this authority are 
governed by Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford strict confidentiality to non- aggregated data provided by respondents. This Notice is submitted in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office of Management and Budget regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. 
NASS also complies with OMB 
Implementation Guidance, ‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V of the E-Government Act, Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’ Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June 15, 2007, p. 33362. 
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60 minutes per response. NASS plans to mail out publicity materials prior to the questionnaires to inform respondents of the importance of this survey. 
Respondents will be able to reply to the mailed questionnaires by either an online link or by U.S. Postal Service. After two questionnaire mailings, NASS will mail a reminder, pressure sealed postcard to non-respondents with a link to the internet data collection tools, followed up with phone and personal enumeration of non-respondents to increase response rates and to minimize data collection costs. 
Respondents: The 2022 survey will 
target operations who own or operate cropland as well as concentrated livestock feeding operations. Operators who have grazing land or forestry land will be done at a later date. 
Estimated Number of Respondents: 
35,200. 
Estimated Total Annual Burden on 
Respondents: 35,614 hours. 
Comments: Comments are invited on: 
(a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, technological, or other forms of information technology collection methods.
